I am currently running Dovecot on DoD production email server (Postfix) and the latest version the software available from Redhat is dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4. According to you guys, this is ancient and I was wondering what is the safest and easiest way to get my version updated without breaking it... Thanks for any help and or points in the right direction... [root at mail ~]# dovecot -n Usage: dovecot [-F] [-c <config file>]

A quick run through the config file to make sure they matched, and that was it. Timo's included enough support that Dovecot will migrate/update a lot of things for you (like subscription files, etc). It really was less painful than I'd anticipated. -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney at cardgate.net
